Welcome to the Music Outback Foundation

Music Outback Foundation Limited is a non-profit Deductible Gift Recipient charity dedicated to the use of music and related art forms as a means of improving outcomes on remote Indigenous communities.

Why music in remote Indigenous Australia?

Australian Indigenous people are faced with the fragmentation of their culture at a rate unprecedented in modern times, with disturbingly low outcomes in health, education, employment, and other community indicators. In response, through careful development of its programs over six years, Music Outback has shown that music can be a powerful and effective multi-faceted vehicle for the reconnection of Indigenous people to their own cultural expression. At the same time, music can effectively address serious needs in areas such as education, health, language preservation, and remote Indigenous employment.

Music Outback Foundation programs have been designed to:

* Develop the use of music in remote isolated schools as a means of improving general education outcomes
* Assist in the preservation of threatened languages and culture through the engagement of older community members in first language song writing
* Engage school age Indigenous youth who don't attend school in creative activities that promote healthy lifestyle choices
* Strengthen the roles of community adults in the mentoring and leading of young people in education and cultural expression
* Involve various agencies on Indigenous communitites in activities that build partnerships and cross-agency cooperation across the community
